The Huntsville Women’s Tennis Association (HWTA) held its 12th Annual Roselyn Donnelly Memorial Tennis Tournament, on November 1-3, 2013 at the Huntsville Tennis Center. This tennis tournament event is the Fall Charity Tournament, where all proceeds this year went to the future tennis expansion project.

This year was an event to remember, where a record count of 146 players participated in the tennis tournament! This event was successful due to the passion of the tennis community. Thank you to the committee, event participants, local businesses and those individual players that made additional cash donations. Your time, talents and donations to help build more tennis courts is truly appreciated.

A big thank you to everyone who helped with the Raffle drive; we could not have done it without the tennis player’s generosity in buying raffle tickets, and all the outstanding gift donations from the HWTA ladies, local business gift certificates, and pro lessons.

I hope everyone enjoyed the wonderful autumn weather, the exciting tennis matches, the marvelous assortment of food and snacks, and the pure enjoyment of a weekend of tennis with friends.

Pleases don’t forget to visit the businesses that made donations to the Raffle; their support is helping to pave the way for future court expansion.

We all have to cook and we all enjoy sharing recipes; so we have decided to publish an HWTA cookbook. The cookbook committee would like to ask the membership for the following:

1. Submit five recipes under the following categories:

a. Appetizers

b. Salads/Vegetables

c. Casseroles (breakfast, brunch, lunch etc.)

d. Desserts

e. This & That (Beverages, sauces, soups, breads, anything not in the above list)

If more than one member submits a recipe, all who submit will be listed next to that recipe. If you are not sure about submitting a recipe, please submit, and we will try to find a category to place the recipe.

Indicate on the recipe if it can be made in 15 minutes or can be made ahead and frozen.

2. We need a group of ladies who will consider testing the recipes and tasting results. Only Karen will know where the recipe came from and the taste results.

3. The Deadline for recipe submission will be January 31, 2014.

4. All recipes must have exact measurements, ingredients and if brand names are used please include.

5. Recipes may be submitted with a personal note, funny story etc. about the particular recipe. We will include as many of the stories as we can.

6. Please send recipes electronically to Karen Morris and if mailing to
